40 Weeks: Letter to Ava

Sweet Ava,

It's officially your due date, but instead of a 40 week post where I complain about how swollen my feet are or how impatient I'm getting that you're not here yet, I decided to take this opportunity to write you a little note and tell you how wanted you are and how loved you are already.

You see, towards the end of last year your dad and I decided that we wanted a baby. We were finally ready. And once I got ready, I was really ready. Impatiently so. One night back in December, I was sad and filled with longing for a baby. It just so happened that on that night the sky was filled with shooting stars. I sat out in the cold winter's night, just waiting for more stars, so I could make more wishes.

Seven shooting stars in all, and I wished for you on every single one.

And in due time, God granted those wishes. And now here I sit with a big belly, just days (hours?) away from the moment we get to see your sweet face. Don't keep us waiting too much longer, ok?

Born and raised in eastern NC (with the accent to prove it), now living in the Triangle. Have a husband who makes me laugh, a dog who thinks she’s human, and a new little one who's training me every day in the art of being a mom. I love entertaining, snapping away with my Nikon, crafting and generally trying to be Martha-like. Take off your shoes and stay awhile, would you?
